Estimate revenue, or what you expect to receive; 2. Estimate the present and future spending; 3. Deduct the estimated expenses to the revenues and determine the net cash flow. Types of Budget Plans Envelope Method This method categorize the main expenses. The money is placed inside an envelope. The envelope contains the maximum amount of money that you can spend for each of the category of your expenses. You cannot more than the amount in the envelope. If you will have an amount of money you cannot move the funds for other expenses. If there is money left you can put it into savings and do not use it next month. Zero- Based Budgeting The assumption in the allocation is that there will be no penny that will be left all of it is already assigned to specific expense or purpose. After determining the income, allocate every single penny to various purpose. 50-30-20 Method The allocation is 50% of income goes to “needs“; the 30% is for the “wants” and 20% will be for the savings and paying of debts if there are any. Pay yourself first The first thing that you do is to allocate for savings--- it means that you pay yourself. After this, you can now employ 20/50/30 budget. The 20 is now for savings and the 50 will be for needs and 30 for wants or you can use envelopes; or you can allocate all other revenue to other expenses after you have already allocated for savings. Values Based Budget The allocation will first consider the essentials or your needs. Then the allocation will now be allocated to the items that are deemed important to you such as charity, family, friends, education etc. You can use the other methods based on the values that determines your needs and wants. But always remember to include your future to meet your personal and financial goals. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-budgeting- shruti-anand Behavior and Psychology of Spending https://www.facebook.com/bpi/photos/when-were-stressed-out-from-work-were-more-likely-to-splurge-on-dinners-drinks- d/573909855988524/?paipv=0&eav=Afb_QzdmIuQSPfxseauhlKz93UnZkeJIb1HAmaOW7G6H2Qwq9xrAIRu_2lzHCbjR5dU&_rdr Emotions and Spending A+B= C model +A Activating Event +B Belief____________ =C Consequences A- Activating Event Triggers emotions B- Belief how the A makes you feel C- Consequences refers to the response If the C is positive try to replicate If C is negative then try to analyze what are you doing; the goal is to control your emotions and response that would decrease negative consequences in the future.
